Overview
R-COIL throws players into a chaotic dimension-hopping adventure, blending classic multi-directional shooting with an innovative control scheme. After a catastrophic malfunction of your experimental R-COIL engine, you're flung into an unknown reality and immediately find yourself under siege by hostile alien creatures.

The core challenge lies in mastering this unique mechanic to survive the onslaught and find a way back home.

- Innovative Single-Button Control: Master a unique control system where aiming is done with the stick, and a single button handles both firing and thrusting.
- Dynamic Movement Mechanics: Every shot fired pushes your ship back, creating a strategic layer where offensive actions directly influence your mobility.
